FROM THE DAY WE PICKED YOU OUT OF THE LITTER
YOU WERE MEANT TO BE SPECIAL. THAT LITTLE COW LICK ON
THE BACK OF YOUR NECK TOLD US YOU WERE THE ONE.
YOUR PASSING HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES FOREVER.
THERE IS AN EMPTY SPOT HERE NOW. YOU ATE WITH US.
YOU SLEPT WITH US. YOU WENT ON TRIPS WITH US.
YOU WERE ALWAYS READY TO GO AND WHEN WE SAID NO
YOU ALWAYS DROPPED YOUR HEAD AS YOU WALKED
BACK INTO THE GATE.
YOU LEFT US WITH FOUR PUPPIES AND NO MATTER HOW
HARD I TRY THEY JUST CANNOT FILL THE VOID.
YOUR ANTICS STILL REFLECT IN MY MIND. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO
SNEAK UP ON YOUR MOTHER YOU WOULD ALWAYS TRY TO BITE ME
OR BARK AT ME. I MISS THAT. YOU WOULD SIT THERE AND
WATCH ME EAT DINNER WAITING FOR ME TO OFFER YOU SOMETHING.
I MISS THAT TOO.
MAGGIE IF THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN WHERE
ANIMALS WAIT FOR THEIR OWNERS I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN
WHEN I PASS ON. THAT WOULD MAKE DEATH MORE ACCEPTABLE.
JUST TO SEE YOU AGAIN WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME.
MAGGIE I AM SO SORRY YOU HAD TO GET CANCER.
I HAD A HARD TIME ACCEPTING THAT. YOU WERE SO YOUNG.
THOSE LAST FEW DAYS WERE A NIGHTMARE FOR ME AND MOM.
WE HAD TO LET YOU GO BECAUSE OF YOUR SUFFERING.
I CAN STILL SEE YOUR FACE WITH THE PAIN LOOK.
EVEN THEN YOU WOULD STILL WAG YOUR TAIL WHEN WE
SPOKE TO YOU. MAGGIE YOU WERE ONE THE TOUGHEST
DOGS I HAVE EVER HAD.
MAGGIE THIS IS A VAIN ATTEMPT TO INFLATE A CRUSHED HEART.
I AM NOT SURE IF I WILL EVER GET OVER YOUR DEATH.
PLEASE GOD TAKE CARE OF MY LITTLE MAGGIE SHE MEANT
THE WORLD TO US.
TILL WE SEE YOU AGAIN MAGGIE
WE LOVE YOU.
DAD AND MOM
